<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 7871854, member: 7638&quot;]Looking at the reverse, it appears to me that someone dipped the coin in a silver cleaner, then went after the more darkly tarnished areas with an abrasive or chemical on a swab ( look at the sharply demarcated light areas near the eagle). </p><p>Then the coin was put in an old style high sulfur coin folder or album where the reverse toned more rapidly as noted by alurid above. Usually this kind of toning starts with a pink-rose or beige color then progresses through the blue that you see here on to darker hues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
